just picked up this balancer today, and have done the connector mod...



...and put a deans connector on (to attach to my charger)

but when i hookup the balancer alone, its supposed to go into discharge balance, but no lights light up. and when i hookup to the charger to try and charge i get a "battery voltage too low" error (using a prodigy 2 charger)

charger itself works fine, and tested the balancer at a lhs on an old charger that doesnt even know what lipo is, and the balancer worked, but standalone the balancer doesnt function.

so i wonder why the balancer doesnt work with the charger, maybe trying to charger too high of amp for a 5amp power supply?

yep that wasnt it. humm any ideas?

I've not seen this type deal before where you mod the balance wires to conform to another type of balance connection. Looks like there is something wrong with the wire swapping you did since nothing else seems to expalin it. There could (small chance) be something wrong with the balance wires they way they were....did you ever balance charge it before moving the wires in the balance connector?

Seems like a lot of trouble versus buying a cell size adapter that would connect to your lipo and have the right end on it for the charger. And if it isn't due to the way you moved them (assuming no mistakes on your part - which doesn't seem likely) the advice is poor.

tried it on another charger, it worked. its actually a very easy mod from hyperion to xh. since they are the same spacing, you just need a hobby knife to push down the pin (much like a sensor wire) and then swap to the correct spot.
